Question

Keesha conducts an experiment by pouring equal amounts of boiling water into four containers. The containers are the same size and shape, but they are made of different materials. The chart lists the containers according to their materials.

Using protective gloves, Keesha carefully touches each container immediately after pouring the water. Which container was likely the hottest?
W: Foam
X: Glass
Y: Plastic
Z: Stainless Steel

Answer 1

Answer: Option (Z) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Stainless steel is a good conductor of heat as it heats the substance immediately or we can say that heat passes through it easily.

Also stainless steel is resistant to corrosion.  

Whereas foam, glass and plastic are all bad conductors of heat and electricity.  Therefore, they do not let heat pass through them.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, stainless steel container was likely the hottest.
